Congratulations Baby Cards with Giraffe Love

Hello all and Happy Saturday!  We all need a new baby card at times.  Today I am sharing two cards I made - one for a baby boy and the other for a baby girl - using Giraffe Love and one of the sentiments from Floral Framed Sentiments.  

• First, I stamped Giraffe Love on two pieces of white cardstock.   Then I die-cut them using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die, and colored them using some yellow, orange, and brown tones of markers.    

• I made 2 top-folding A2 cards - one baby pink and one baby blue.  Then I adhered a piece of fun foam behind each of the colored Giraffe Love pieces and glued one to each card front.   I used the 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die to cut another 2 pieces of white cardstock and I adhered one inside each card where a message will be written.   

• I stamped Congratulations twice from Floral Framed Sentiments, layered them on a piece of blue and pink cardstock, added a button and crystals, and adhered them to the card fronts.    

Here are the two cards - one for a boy and one for a girl.

I hope you have enjoyed these card ideas for a new baby.  Make one of these and they will be kept for years and years.  Remember, if you go shopping on the Technique Junkies website (www.techniquejunkies.com), you can save 10% at checkout by using my discount code - TJ10Michael.

All about the Birds

It is Tuesday and I am showcasing birds from our release this month. My first card uses Small Packages. I made the background on textured paper and I dragged it through the yellow, pink and purple. Super quick and simple. Matted on black and on a white card base.

My second card, I used the Japanese Cranes that I stamped on a white card base and colored in a bit with Zig watercolor brush markers. A piece of T.H. designer paper and both matted with black and a piece of burlap for interest.

Come and check out the wonderful new stamp release this month at Technique Junkies and use my code TJ10Pam. There is something for everyone!

A Sweet Baby and Holiday Cheer

One of my daughter's best friends is having a little girl in January. She loves sunflowers, so I decided to play on that theme. I stamped the image from Welcome Sweet Baby, Set of 4 in T.H. fossilized amber using my Misti. Next, I stamped just a portion of Summer Barn to get the sunflower image from it and fussy cut it out. I then colored it in amber, too. Black glitter was placed in the center. Two sentiments from the set were used and distressed a bit. I used an embossing folder for some more interest and both the main image and sentiment were placed on dimensionals.

This image is from the November 2021 release and is called Night Snow. Laying in bed recently, I'd been thinking of how to ink it up with multiple inks. I used berry burst, gorgeous grape and night of navy and then spritzed iridescent Shimmering Bliss over it. The sentiment is new this month, too Warmest Wishes.

I have quite the stack of discarded items in my craft room and I've been trying to utilize them. This embossed image was one such item! Using teal ink spot and antique linen ink pad, I rubbed the embossed image and then for the bg I used not quite navy. The sentiment All is Calm was stamped with antique linen as well.
